And are required to have a service rifle I think

Or is that Finland

The fuck

You can't defend if you can't attack

If you have guns and people to hold them, then you need to know how to do counter offensives to retake territory, else what you defend just dwindles

So long as they keep a supply line open via ports they would get plenty of war materials.

Well that's why I say so long as it's maintained.

And no, allies will use their own convoys if it came to a choice between Sweden existing or not

Sweden isn't a massive place

And aircraft don't need to hike to each factory

I mean when has that *actually* stopped anyone in a war?

Well bigger issue with that is the logistics

Standardization happened for a damn good reason

Scipio Africanvs was a badass. Fucking legend.

Well I mean the fact that he didn't get too swept up in the widespread Punic hatred like the rest of the Romans says a lot

They were initially trade allies and then fucking wanting to slaughter every man woman and child

Vowing that nothing shall ever again stand where Carthage burns.

That's serious grudge shit

Talking to some Greeks about history gets frustrating. Claiming to have invented half of everything lol

Yeah but Africanus looked at them all dying and realized, fuck, almost none of those people even know who I am but we're still killing them

Was kinda necessary to wipe them out at that point though or Carthage would have rebuilt for revenge

These are the people that marched ELEPHANTS across the ALPS to fuck them, realized they couldn't, so burned everything to spite them anyway.

I wouldn't let that kinda civilization survive either lol like asking for a knife in your back when you least expect it

Samnites

Who were kinda salty about the whole getting conquered thing

Well the Samnites were pretty much riding on the Etruscan League warwagon so I don't blame the Romans for conquering their asses.

I think the Samnites had it especially bad though as far as how they were treated post conquest

Too many tribes frankly, just use the region if you can't remember lol

Hm

I don't know pre-Gallic

Not sure if there were meaningful records of the local tribe left

Man

Not a Successor?

Or related to them?

Huh, didn't know they went that far

Those sources seem pretty far apart

But when you think of how many bronze age tribes there honestly must have been, we probably don't know even half of them

Actually that's even generous

Reddit pisses me off these days

I had to have like a week long arguement just to defend President H.W. Bush's fucking dog.

So many downvotes

Socialists and communists love to say that centrists stand for nothing. They really dislike when you point out that they stand for either genocide or slavery veiled behind sophistry. Maybe that's why I get so many downvotes

Marathon

Marathon was cool as fuck

Used AI characters for really compelling character development and storytelling.

Asimov would have loved it

Stories about insane AI in control of a giant military spaceship aren't

And I dunno, would be neat though

I feel like it might not translate as well as, say, DOOM, to modern gameplay

Yeah, I feel like the only sensible idea is the one that can adapt well.

I can tolerate going to the left or the right depending on the issue, but everyone else is stuck standing against a cliff.

I mean look at the poor French

Vee did a great video on them in his Yellow Vest demands vid.

They are too left leaning to understand why their shit doesn't work.

And can't come up with solutions that are doable.

Lower taxes but higher pensions?

Improved infrastructure, but the nationalization of airports and banking?

They're already freaking out over gas taxes, what will they think when they need to pay damn near 75% taxes to pay for that shit?

That can go very poorly

Nationalizing banks

Giving banks to the state?

So the government should instead

Most governments already try to account for inflation, the private banks loan and transfer money

I mean yeah, printing more money causes ot

I don't know if I have 100% conviction in anything other than I exist

Nationalized banks are much different than, say, regulated banks

*Actually has popcorn.*

Okay. Well do you think it's not enough to simply regulate a bank?

Well that is a big step from nationalizing them and at least mostly works out. I don't think anyone wants to let the banks have all the money without some rules.

Then where would everyone's nonphysical money go?

Well okay, I don't put all my money in my bank account, but that's because I don't trust my own dumb ass rather than the bank lol

He's like a 6

Maybe 6.5

8 if you count money

Lol

WHAT

Morrowind was cool

The dunmer have to be one of my most disliked races

Specifically because fuck the Chimer

I mean really anyone that wipes out the dwemer are assholes

Shoddycast?

Well it kinda does

Half the timeline is blank honestly

Fight me bro, bet you don't even believe in dragonbreaks

I mean compared to how much most interested in the lore, it's kinda deep

*know

And my first TES game was III thank you

Well not the whole race

But they still must repent for using Lorhkar's heart to wipe them all out

Lol I like it

Okay so they all died

I mean that's BASICALLY dying.

Why is anyone ever in a plane of Oblivion?

They're too clever for their own good or Daedric fuckery

Wut

Only if it impales you with burning hot spikes for eternity if you hug it

I hate elf speak

I AM BUT IT INCONVENIENCES ME BECAUSE I CAN NEVER SPELL THE SHIT RIGHT

Muatra?

It is
